Anyone out there own one and what are they like ?

Have one, happy with it, apart from limited storage, overall would reccomend

+'s
Nice build quality, screen, UI proc, Dolby

-'s storage and no gorilla glass


Wish i could say the same for Expansys

You won't get a new galaxy S for the same price so that should tell you all you need to know.

It is a good budget phone but it's no Galaxy S even if the S is an older phone

I ve to return my phone to three as they have agreed to let me break my contract. On the look out for a mid range smart phone until I can get something better.

Thanks for the replies, guess I ll keep looking

think am going to bite bullet and get one but does anyone know where i can get back up battery for it, i have looked on ebay but not 100% sure on whether am looking at right battery...

right now have samsung europa and its lasting the guts of 7/8 hours from fully charged.. so frustrating...

all i have on is 3g and using min... few txts messages , ten mins browsing...

i know i can turn off 3g on it but whats the point of having a smart phone and having to turn it off

How limited is the storage, this phone also caught my eye and I might upgrade from my HTC Wildfire which only has ~175MB and a lot less of that is usable

am loving the phone...usuallying lasts between 1.5 and 2 days and thats with more phone calls then i made on europa..

How limited though? Can you put a figure on it?

Also is it easy to root?

I got one to replace a failing S1 but gave it to my wife.
I didn't like the curved glass. Made my thumb sore.
I settled for a galaxy ace
